Today, we'll start by exploring how we calculate the Annualized Initial Cost of equipment using the equivalent uniform cost formula. Why do we need to annualize costs?

Student 1
Student 1

To spread the initial investment over its lifespan, making costs more manageable on an annual basis.

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! We can use the formula $I \times \frac{i(1+i)^{n}}{(1+i)^{n}-1}$, where `I` is the initial cost. Can someone help me plug in the numbers for our initial cost of ₹28,900,000 with `i` as 8% and `n` as 12.5?

Student 2
Student 2

If we calculate it, we find the annualized cost is approximately ₹37,41,844.41.

Teacher

Now, let's move onto salvage value. Why do we convert future salvage value into an equivalent annual cost?

Student 4
Student 4

So we can consider it in our total cost assessment over the equipment's lifespan.

Teacher
Teacher

Correct! The formula for converting it is $SV \times \frac{i}{(1+i)^{n}-1}$. Our salvage value is 20% of the initial cost. Can anyone calculate that?

Student 1
Student 1

That gives us an annualized salvage value of ₹2,85,968.88!

Teacher
Teacher

Right! Always deduct tire costs before finding this percentage. Remember the percentage part 'S-A-L-V-A-G-E' to encapsulate this concept!

Precisely! Now, how do we calculate hourly depreciation based on annual costs?

Student 4
Student 4

We take the annualized initial cost minus the annualized salvage value and divide it by the annual hours of usage?

Teacher
Teacher

Exactly! So here, we have ₹37,41,844.41 - ₹2,85,968.88 divided by 1,600 hours, leading us to an hourly depreciation of ₹2,159.92. Remember the key phrase 'Hourly-Depreciation Dynamics' to recall this process!

Quick Overview

This section outlines the calculation of the annualized initial cost of equipment and other related costs through uniform series capital recovery and depreciation estimates.

Standard

The section discusses how to calculate equivalent uniform annual costs including initial and salvage values, hourly depreciation, ownership costs, operating costs, and provides a comprehensive approach for estimating these costs in relation to equipment usage over time.

Detailed

Annualized Initial Cost Calculation

This section delves into the computation of the annualized initial cost (AIC) of equipment, which encompasses various financial measures tied to machinery ownership and operation. The primary formula used for calculating the equivalent uniform annual cost of an initial investment is detailed:

Key Formulas

  • Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost of Initial Cost:
    $$ AIC = Initial Cost \times \frac{i(1+i)^{n}}{(1+i)^{n}-1} $$

Where:
- i is the interest rate (8% in this scenario)
- n is the lifespan (12.5 years)

Using the above formula with the initial cost of ₹28,900,000 yields an annualized cost of ₹37,41,844.41.

Next, the section addresses the calculation of the salvage value and converts this future value into an equivalent annual cost:

  • Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost of Salvage Value:
    $$ AUC = Salvage Value \times \frac{i}{(1+i)^{n} - 1} $$

For the salvage value estimated at 20% of the initial cost after tire costs were deducted, the equivalent annual cost amounts to ₹2,85,968.88.

The section continues with practical calculations such as hourly depreciation derived from the difference between annualized initial and salvage values divided by the machine's annual usage hours (1,600), leading to an hourly depreciation of ₹2,159.92.

Subsequently, it further breaks down concepts related to ownership costs, including insurance and taxes, both expressed as percentages of the initial cost, subsequently converted to hourly rates.

In concluding, total hourly operating costs are computed by aggregating various costs including fuel consumption and maintenance, culminating in a total equipment cost per hour used, presenting a comprehensive financial analysis necessary for effective budgeting and forecasting in engineering projects.

Annualized Initial Cost Formula

The equivalent uniform annual cost of initial cost is given by:

\[ \text{Annualized Cost} = \text{Initial Cost} \times \left[ \frac{i(1+i)^n}{(1+i)^n - 1} \right] \]

where \(i = 0.08\) (8% interest rate), and \(n = 12.5\) years.

Detailed Explanation

This formula calculates the annualized cost of a one-time initial investment. The formula involves multiplying the initial cost by a specific factor derived from the interest rate and the lifespan of the investment, allowing us to distribute the total cost evenly over each year of its useful life.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine you buy a car for ₹2,89,00,000. Instead of viewing it as a one-time expense, you can think of it as spreading that investment over the time you’ll use it. For example, if you financed it with an interest of 8% over 12.5 years, the formula helps you understand what that would cost you annually, much like how you might pay a monthly subscription for a service, allowing you to budget effectively.

When we substitute the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Annualized Initial Cost} = 2,89,00,000 \times \left[ \frac{0.08(1+0.08)^{12.5}}{(1+0.08)^{12.5} - 1} \right] = ₹ 37,41,844.41/\text{year} \]

Detailed Explanation

This step involves plugging the numbers into the formula we discussed earlier. First, we calculate the factor that represents how the initial cost is spread over time, accounting for interest. In the end, you will arrive at a specific annual amount that reflects the yearly financial impact of that initial expenditure.

Examples & Analogies

Think of it as breaking down your car payment into manageable monthly installments. Similarly, you’re spreading that large upfront payment for a vehicle into smaller yearly payments, making it easier to see how much you need to budget annually.

Understanding Salvage Value

Now let's convert the future salvage value into an equivalent uniform annual cost:
\[ \text{Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost of Salvage} = \text{Salvage Value} \times \left[ \frac{i}{(1+i)^n - 1} \right] \]

Detailed Explanation

Salvage value refers to the estimated amount you can recover from an asset after its useful life. We want to convert this future value into an annual cost, similar to how we did with the initial cost. This helps determine the long-term financial picture, including what’s gained after the equipment is sold or disposed.

Examples & Analogies

If you plan to sell that car in 12.5 years for a percentage of its value, knowing that future amount and converting it into an annual figure helps you understand how much of that value contributes to your yearly costs. It’s like predicting if the value of your car will help cover the annual costs of owning and driving the vehicle.

Calculating Hourly Depreciation

Unlock Audio Book

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book

Hourly Depreciation is calculated as:

\[ \text{Hourly Depreciation} = \frac{\text{Annualized Initial Cost} - \text{Annualized Salvage Value}}{\text{Annual Use in Hours}} \]

where \( \text{Annual use} = 1600 \text{ hours/year} \).

Detailed Explanation

This step allows us to understand how much value an asset loses in terms of usage. By taking the difference between what you pay annually (after considering resale value) and dividing it by how many hours you use the asset, you can find the hourly cost of depreciation.

Examples & Analogies

If you think of your car as a tool that loses value, this calculation helps lay out how much money you lose each hour it’s in use. It’s similar to figuring out how much it costs to run a cash register by dividing the annual expenses by how many hours it operates.

Calculating Additional Ownership Costs

Unlock Audio Book

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book

Other components of the ownership cost like insurance, taxes, and storage are calculated based on the initial cost. For instance:

\[ \text{Insurance} = \frac{0.02 \times \text{Initial Cost}}{\text{Annual Use in Hours}} \]

Detailed Explanation

In addition to depreciation, owning an asset incurs various recurring costs such as insurance and taxes. To assess the full impact of operating an asset, you calculate these costs as a function of the initial investment and allocate them over the hours the equipment is used.

Examples & Analogies

Much like how in a household, monthly payments like electricity and insurance are part of total costs, similarly for machinery, we need to account for these costs to understand the true cost of ownership over its lifetime.

Total Hourly Ownership Cost

Unlock Audio Book

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book

The total hourly ownership cost is derived by adding all components:

\[ \text{Total Hourly Ownership Cost} = \text{Hourly Depreciation} + \text{Insurance} + \text{Taxes} + \text{Storage} \]

Detailed Explanation

The total hourly ownership cost summarizes all the annual costs we’ve assessed (depreciation, insurance, etc.) into an hourly figure. This gives a clear picture of what it costs to keep the machine operational for each hour of usage.

Examples & Analogies

Think of this as tallying your monthly expenses to find out what your cash outflow looks like each month, giving you a complete view of your financial commitments related to the car, including fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
